I'm so excited for this. Mushishi is one of my favorite shows ever. I also dig it for being one of the most Japanese shows ever, but in the not-stupid way. Between this and new Sailor Moon, it's going to be a good year for anime.

I just saw the last episode, and goddamn the coloring on this anime are gorgeous. The whole theme of rot and decay is so perfectly captured in the sickly greens and dark yellows. In fact, this whole series does great things with color.

The new Mushishi episode was just ok. That's a bit worrying because it could mean a drop in quality's about to occur.

Butt Frosted Cake posted:I can dig it, the Mushishi have always struck me as less medicine men and more alchemists which is a big part of religious Taoism. Although I can't really recall any Confucian or Mohist foil to play off of which is, in my opinion, an essential part to any series of Taoist parables. I always saw it more as a Buddhist thing since everyone's problems start when they are attached to something, be it a person or an idea. Anyway, the new episode was good.

I don't see why you guys think this is scary. I interpreted it as the man loving his wife so much that he's willing to give up something a lot of people want, being able to relive the past, just to experience new things with her. And at the end, he willingly sacrifices his own consciousness so that she might live. GODDAMN THE FEELS

Lurking Haro posted:Ginko said that after a number of loops, the person becomes part of the mushi. Since only his wife experiences the loop, he is gone. What we see is an alternate version of the husband who isn't affected by the mushi, but not the same one.  I don't see why this is a bad thing. The wife lives, and she is no worse for wear. Life will continue as it always did and she will experience everything as it will happen. If she is eaten, then so be it. We all gotta die sometime and being eaten by a living Groundhog Day is a pretty cool way to go.You guys are such Debbie Downers sometimes, jeez
